DALLAS - COURTESY LISTING - AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG/BLUE HEELER / POINTER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Pointer / Mixed (short coat). COURTESY LISTING DALLAS is a courtesy listing, not in the AARF foster program, and we are posting online to help the owner find a home for them. Please visit aarf-tn/adopt/adoption-app/ to apply. Dallas has a smile that can brighten your whole day, especially when he sees the leash come out and knows it's time for an adventure. This handsome Australian Cattle Dog mix is about 7 years old, weighs 42 pounds, and still has plenty of pep in his step. Dallas loves being with his people and seems happiest when he's included in whatever the day has in store. Whether it's a walk around the neighborhood, a car ride, a training session for treats, or simply relaxing nearby, he's ready to be your loyal companion. Dallas is a smart boy who knows several commands including sit, down, come, wait, and off. He even catches treats in midair. He is perfectly housetrained, crate trained and quickly learned how to use a dog door in his foster home. He walks nicely on a leash, rides quietly in the car, and enjoys exploring the yard in search of squirrels or other exciting things to watch. He has adjusted wonderfully to life with his foster family's dogs and enjoys playing and chasing with them. Dallas has done well meeting new people and dogs with a proper introduction. He is not a fan of cats and would likely be happiest in a home without feline roommates. Dallas is being rehomed after being deeply loved by his longtime owners, who made the difficult decision because of health challenges of their own. Through it all, Dallas has remained the affectionate, devoted dog he's always been. Contact us for more information on adopting Dallas. Interested in adopting?
